In part because of the large sample size, most scales show a statistically significant difference between Extraverts and Introverts. Some of these differences are in practice, however, quite small, and for practical purposes it is useful to take a difference of one sten as a meaningful amount.

The highest correlates of each type dichotomy were therefore as follows: E I: S N: T F: J P: H (-.80), Global. Extraversion (-.73), F (-.59), N (.56), A (.50), Global Independence (-.49), Q2 (.47) Global Tough-Mindedness (-.57), Q1 (.57), M (.48), Global Self-control (-.45) I (.47), A (.46) Global Self-control (-.63), Q3 (-.58), M (.43)
Unsurprisingly, there is a very similar picture here to that shown by the t-tests in the previous section of this report.

The overall pattern of results is also similar to that shown by the correlation between MBTI Form G and the 16PF5 in a student sample, referenced in both the MBTI Manual (Myers et al, 1998) and the 16PF5 Administrators Guide (Russell and Karol, 1994). There are, however, also some differences. These include: In general, the correlations between the two questionnaires tend to be stronger for this outplacement sample than for the student sample. For Extraversion-Introversion, this sample shows stronger relationships with Q1, Global Tough-Mindedness and Global Self-Control, but a weaker relationship with Factor C. For Sensing-Intuition, this sample shows stronger relationships with Factors A, F and Q2, but weaker relationships with Factors B and E. For Thinking-Feeling, this sample shows stronger relationships with Factors C, F, I, M, Q2, Global Extraversion, Global Anxiety and Global Self-Control. For Judging-Perceiving, this sample shows stronger relationships with Factors C and Global Tough-Mindedness, but a weaker relationship with Factor N.

Out of 25 hypotheses, 15 (60%) were supported, 2 (8%) had mixed evidence and 8 (32%) were rejected. Table 11 overleaf shows the four highest scoring and the four lowest scoring types for each 16PF factor except Q4 and IM, with the mean sten score for each type. Looking at this table, it is remarkable how neatly type combinations relate to many of the 16PF factors. In the first line of the table, for example, the four types with the highest score on Factor A (Warmth) all have a preference for Extraversion and Feeling and the four types

with the lowest score all have a preference for Introversion and Thinking. This is illustrated further by figure 7 on the following pages.

Note: these results should be treated with caution, as the sample sizes for some types notably INFJ and ISFP are small. See table 3.

Presenting the data in this form makes it easier for MBTI users who are accustomed to referring to type tables to see what is going on, and provides a way in which continuous scores such as 16PF raw scores or stens can be mapped against whole type. A possible further refinement is shown in figure 8 below:
Figure 8: Mean of Factor A for each Type Factor A (Warmth) ISTJ ISTP ESTP ESTJ ISFJ ISFP ESFP ESFJ INFJ INFP ENFP ENFJ INTJ INTP ENTP ENTJ In this diagram, the depth of the shading for each type is exactly related to the mean on factor A for that type. ISTPs have the lowest mean, and ESFPs the highest.
